At Ziiroca, we are committed to operating with integrity and transparency in all aspects of our business, particularly in our supply chain operations. As a fashion and lifestyle brand, we recognise the importance of combating modern slavery and human trafficking in the industry. Our mission is not only to deliver unique, ethically sourced products from Africa but also to uphold the highest standards of human rights.
Our Business
Ziiroca focuses on sourcing organic and handmade products from Nigeria, crafted by talented artisans. We take pride in providing a platform that not only showcases their exceptional work but also supports their livelihoods, helping to improve their quality of life.

We are dedicated to ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking do not exist in any part of our supply chain. Our commitment is rooted in respect for human dignity and is reflected in our policies and practices. We strive to foster a culture of honesty and mutual respect, ensuring that everyone who works with and for us experiences fair treatment and ethical working conditions.
Supply Chain Due Diligence
Ziiroca conducts rigorous due diligence checks in our supply chain, focusing on transparency and sustainability. Our partnership with suppliers prioritises those who share our values and commitment to ethical practices. We engage directly with our artisans, ensuring they receive fair compensation and work in safe, healthy environments.
Employee Training
We understand that awareness is key to prevention. Therefore, we provide training for our employees to recognise signs of modern slavery and human trafficking, empowering them to take action where necessary. This training ensures that our team is equipped with the knowledge and tools to uphold our standards and report any concerns.
Ongoing Evaluation
Our modern slavery statement is not static; it evolves as we continually assess and improve our practices. We regularly review our policies and procedures to ensure they remain effective and relevant. Feedback from our artisans, employees, and stakeholders informs these evaluations, allowing us to adapt and strengthen our approach.
Reporting Concerns
We encourage anyone with concerns about our supply chain or operations to come forward. Ziiroca is committed to addressing any issues promptly and effectively, fostering an environment where concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation.
Conclusion
Ziiroca takes its responsibility to fight modern slavery seriously. We are dedicated to maintaining an ethical supply chain that supports and empowers our Nigerian artisans while delivering exceptional products to our customers. Our ongoing commitment to transparency, fairness, and respect is the foundation of our business and the true essence of Ziiroca.
